Project scope and objective

The transaction consists of a revolving, uncommitted credit facility to be provided by IDB Invest to Megacable Holdings S.A.B. de C.V. and its subsidiaries (“Megacable”), for an amount of US$20 million (the “Transaction”). IDB Invest will purchase from and discount to the supplier’s credit rights payable by Megacable, previously confirmed by the latter, through an eligible electronic platform.
